My parents sent me package last week containing some odd-looking gourds (my dad in particular was keen on finding more unusual-looking examples). Knowing about the multi-color linocut I did last year, apparently they decided that I need to up my gourd game. The next day then, I drew this exceptionally lumpy delight:
Last fall I had debated doing a painted version of the linocut still life so that I could contrast the different techniques I use, but I never got around to it. I'm thinking I'll do it this year with this gourd and his friends, though, since I seem to have gotten over my fear of painting, at least for the moment.
Happy autumn, everyone.

Woodbury,
ReplyDeleteI don't paint. but I have the tendency to think, after the sketching with pencil or light brush, that it should be like paint-by-numbers that transcends into Seurat Pointillism which then transcends into Monet Impressionism which then becomes solidified into Realism.

ReplyDeleteThanks Mark! Rest assured, I've got plans for this gourd. Hope all is well with you.
